Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) has officially announced that its highly anticipated annual special event, Victory Road 2025, will take place on Friday, September 26, at the Edmonton Expo Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This marks the return of a major wrestling event to Edmonton for the first time since WWE’s Backlash in 2004, drawing excitement from fans and insiders alike[1][2][3].

Victory Road is a cornerstone event within the TNA calendar, dating back to 2004. Though once an annual pay-per-view staple until 2012, Victory Road has evolved over the years, transitioning through “One Night Only” specials and monthly streaming events on TNA+. The 2025 edition of Victory Road will be the 19th installment in the event’s history and will stream live exclusively on TNA+ for global audiences[1][4].

The Edmonton Expo Centre, located in the city’s Montrose neighborhood, provides a fitting venue with a rich sporting history. Situated near the former Northlands Coliseum, the site once home to the Edmonton Oilers NHL team, the Expo Centre has hosted numerous major sporting and entertainment events since opening in 1984. This choice reflects TNA’s intention to deliver a high-energy, memorable live wrestling experience to the passionate Canadian fanbase[4].

In addition to the Victory Road live event on September 26, TNA will hold a post-show taping of its flagship weekly television program, iMPACT!, on Saturday, September 27, also at the Edmonton Expo Centre. This taping will air on AXS TV in the United States and Sportsnet in Canada, further cementing TNA’s commitment to delivering top-tier wrestling programming to North American audiences[4].

Sources close to TNA have revealed that the card for Victory Road 2025 is expected to feature a blend of established stars and rising talents involved in ongoing storylines developed on TNA’s weekly shows Impact! and Xplosion. Fans can anticipate compelling feuds culminating in high-stakes matches, continuing the tradition of dynamic storytelling that Victory Road embodies[1][4].

Industry insiders following TNA’s schedule have noted that the company’s recent live event circuit, which includes stops in Minneapolis earlier in September, aims to build momentum ahead of Victory Road. According to Fightful sources, TNA is strategically focusing on expanding its live event presence and streaming content simultaneously to maximize fan engagement across platforms[4].

A WWE insider familiar with the Canadian wrestling market remarked, “Edmonton has long been an underrated wrestling hub. With TNA bringing Victory Road to the Expo Centre, it’s a smart move to tap into a region with a rich history of supporting pro wrestling.” This sentiment echoes the industry excitement surrounding the event, signaling positive anticipation from both veterans and newcomers in the wrestling community.

Tickets for Victory Road 2025 have already gone on sale, with fans eager to secure seats for what promises to be one of TNA’s landmark events this year[5]. Wrestling fans who cannot attend in person will be able to stream the event live on the TNA+ platform, making it accessible to a global audience.

In summary, Victory Road 2025 represents a key moment for TNA this fall — blending nostalgia, strategic venue choice, and a robust roster to present a top-tier pro wrestling event from Canada. With the live broadcast and subsequent iMPACT! taping, TNA continues to leverage both digital streaming and traditional television to enhance its footprint in North America’s pro wrestling scene.
